==Rollback Request==
I just wanted you to know that I requested rollback rights for you [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_Wiki:Requests_for_rollback here]. You'll have to accept or deny the nomination. Thanks! [[User:Vss2eip|<font face="Vladimir Script" size="3"><span style="color:#50C878; text-shadow:black 0 4px 4px;">'''El cobaya'''</span></font>]][[User_talk:Vss2eip|<span style="color:#50C878; text-shadow:black 0 4px 4px;"><sup>''talk here''</sup></span>]] 19:40, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
 
== Your rollback nomination ==
 
Hi there, I have approved your nomination for rollback rights, which you accepted and you now have the ability to use the rollback button. If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message. Congratulations! :) {{LabSig}} 23:05, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
:Yes you can use rollback to revert someone who has made a multiple amount of edits in a row that are disruptive with the click of a button. {{LabSig}} 23:29, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
 
==Re: TSS Quest==
You need to have at least 1 empty slot for quest, so you can get it. :-) [[User:Farhanmendel|Farhanmendel]] 3:23, October 9th, 2011 (UTC)
 
==Thanks!==
Hi, thanks for reverting vandalism! :) [[User:Wir.wiryawan|Wir.wiryawan]] 05:41, October 23, 2011 (UTC)
 
==RE:Extra Info==
Hi, when i look at new master suite stuff page, im thinking that the page just minim with info. so i look back at the past expansion and stuff pack page and i found that some of the page have a complete info and all written there, but also some of it have a complete info but it is not written there. so i decide to complete all info on each expansion and stuff pack, i feel this wiki will be more better if the information on all of the article is completed. so when user here looking for information, they got it right away and no need to browse to another page to got that info.
 
about the images and video on the sims 3 pets page, i notice that the page tagged with clean up template, so there is a problem on that page. i found that the page is too crowded with images and video, for example there is 16 videos on 1 page, too many picture and video will make the page harder and longer to load for user with limited connection. this is already happen on the sims 3 page, so i decide to split the page. i create a new page for the picture and video, just like the sims 3 page. with that i see the main the sims 3 pets page is more clean and i hope if user with limited connection try to see the article they will meet no problem. :) [[User:Wir.wiryawan|Wir.wiryawan]] 11:52, November 9, 2011 (UTC)
 
==RE: Thanks!==
no need to say thanks, it is my job to do that. btw if you find a page need to be tidy up, just tell me. :) [[User:Wir.wiryawan|Wir.wiryawan]] 12:52, November 18, 2011 (UTC)
 
==Picture==
Hi, do you have The Sims FreePlay and The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff picture bigger then 640x480? because an image with 673x410 pixel needed to update the slider in the main page. I'm boring see the dog for 1 or 2 month... lol [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 14:41, December 2, 2011 (UTC)
 
: Nevermind, I already got it... lol
 
: but if you have a better picture tell me ok :D [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 15:04, December 2, 2011 (UTC)
 
== Licensing images ==
 
[[File:How to license an image.png|thumb|right|300px]]
Hi there, I've noticed that some of the images that you have uploaded did not have any form of license or categorisation. I have added a license and a category to your images but in the future, you should do it yourself. The arrow shows where the licensing menu is on the upload screen, so you can easily scroll down and pick an appropriate license for that image. If for some reason clicking on the license doesn't work, hover over a tab on the drop down and copy exactly what comes up into the description box. Thanks! {{LabSig}} 19:35, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 
==RE:Featured template==
The reason why Featured template is on the bottom and not in the top of the page is because the page already an era template on the top of the page that show that the article is a featured article. if you see on the top right of the page there is a small star. But if you want to suggest it on the top of the page, feel free to contact [[User:A morris|A morris]] or [[User:RoseGui|RoseGui]], they are in the charge in the featured article :) [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 16:23, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
:No need to apologies to me, you don't do anything wrong :) [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 08:13, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 
==Guide==
Hey, do you know is there any ebook version of the prima guide for the sims 3 pets? I wanna buy from amazon but it is book aka paperback... [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 13:36, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
:You can ONLY buy their eGuide from their site. Here's the [http://www.primagames.com/games/sims-3-pets/primaguides/209#cart_lightbox LINK].
::What is a digital web access guide? is that an ebook that I can download after I pay or I get special access to the website that contain the guide (I must online and open the website everytime I want to read the guide) [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 02:28, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

== Quick question ==
 
Hi there! Based on [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Yara124&diff=359699&oldid=359679 this edit from another user], do you know [[user:Yara124|Yara124]] in real life? You're not in trouble; I'm just wondering based on her erratic behaviour. Thanks! {{LabSig}} 18:12, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
:I had a hunch that she (or at least I think the user is female) was faking it. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on her. Thanks for clearing that up btw. :) {{LabSig}} 15:10, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
::Awww, you have a secret fan too don't you? lol [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] 16:03, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 
==The word 'Gay'==
I saw your tweet on Twitter, as well as Wogan's response to it and your message on his talk page and I wanted to make sure this issue was resolved ASAP. The issue is that the word 'gay' was included in this wiki's Abuse Filter, which is an extension that blocks edits if they trigger certain flags, one of them being a use of profanity. Somehow the word 'gay' had ended up on the list of flagged words, but upon revelation of this issue I have gone into the Filter and have removed the word from it, as evidenced by the fact that I am able to use the word in this edit (the filter stops admin edits too).
 
I was unaware of this issue until you brought it up. Had I known about it sooner I would have removed it, because we've long since passed the point where that term could even reasonably be considered offensive (at least, in any civilized country, but I'm from the US, so maybe not :p). Additionally, as a gay man, I would have had issue with the wiki that I work on choosing to treat me and my orientation as 'profane'. Despite some heated discussions over on the Same-sex relationships vote, I do honestly believe that the majority of people here are very open and welcoming to everyone and would never be deliberately homophobic.
 
If you have any questions or concerns at all, please leave me a message. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 16:16, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks man! So happy this has now been resolved! Hey, I'm also in the US. Stuck in lame Texas and also a gay man. Still, thanks for looking into this and providing a resolution. I, The Black Scorpion of SimPrograms am very happy now. :)--[[User:The Black Scorpion|The Black Scorpion]] ([[User talk:The Black Scorpion|talk]]) 16:34, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
